latex and poly compatability

Feb 20, 2004 2 Replies

I'm painuing my kitchen cabinets using a latex based paint. Latex doesn't seem to be as durable as oil so I'd like to put a coat of water based poly on top. Will the poly stick?



Before anybody asks " why don't you just use oil", I already have the paint/poly on hand from other projects

Go and purchase new finish material for this project and do it right.

I paint my banks with interior/exterior latex, and top with water base poly. No prob. Just scroll down a bit, if you want to look at some.

Clemenceau supposedly said, "War is too important a matter to be left to the military". If this is so, it is then obvious that peace is too precious to be left to politicians.
